Molly Suds Liquid Laundry Detergent

Molly Suds Liquid Laundry Detergent

Brand: Molly Suds Category: Cleaning Products

Molly Suds was founded by a mom after her daughter developed severe allergies and skin reactions to conventional laundry products. The result is a genuinely clean formula: plant-derived surfactants, no optical brighteners, no synthetic fragrances, and EWG verification.

For families dealing with eczema, allergies, or chemical sensitivities, clean laundry products can make a meaningful difference—residue from harsh detergents sits against skin all day.

Molly Suds goes beyond "free and clear" with full ingredient transparency. No sulfates, no 1,4-dioxane (a contaminant in many "natural" products), no optical brighteners (which stay on fabric), no synthetic fragrance. EWG Verified means third-party confirmation of safety claims.

Concerns addressed: Safe for sensitive skin, eczema, and allergies. HE compatible. Septic safe. Gray water safe. Safe for baby clothes.

Clean ingredients don't always mean clean clothes, but Molly Suds performs well on everyday laundry. The plant-based surfactants (coconut and sugar-derived) effectively lift dirt and oils. Works in cold water.

For heavily soiled items or set-in stains, you may need to pre-treat or boost with their oxygen whitener. It's not as aggressive as conventional detergents—which is the point.

At $0.20-0.30 per load, Molly Suds costs more than conventional detergent ($0.10-0.15) but less than some premium eco brands ($0.30-0.50). The 120-load bottle provides good value for a specialty product.

Cost per load: ~$0.25 Comparable alternatives: Seventh Generation Free & Clear ($0.20), Tide Free & Gentle ($0.25), Branch Basics ($0.35)

Molly Suds is a legitimately clean laundry detergent that performs well enough for everyday use. It's ideal for families prioritizing ingredient safety, especially those with skin sensitivities. Not the cheapest option, but the EWG verification provides assurance beyond marketing claims.

Best for: Sensitive skin, eczema, allergies, baby clothes, chemical-sensitive households, eco-conscious families.

Skip if: You need heavy-duty stain fighting, budget is very tight, or you have no skin/chemical concerns.
